What is Yoga?

Before knowing what yoga is, it is important to know what yoga is not! Yoga is neither a set of physical exercises, nor is it breath control. These are all part of yoga, but they are not yoga.

Traditionally, yoga means the union of the atma (the individual consciousness) with the paramatma (the divine or cosmic consciousness). But when we say 'union', it is like a product; something which can only be achieved at the end of your practices.

No!

Yoga is not a product; it is a process.

Yoga is the intense process that is happening every moment in your being!
